Question

find the selling price if the cost price is rupees 1200 and loss percent is 25

Answer 1

selling price= cp (100-loss%)/100

sp= 1200 (100-25)/100

sp= 1200×75/100

sp= 900rs. .

Answer 2

GIVEN:

• Cost price(C.P) = Rs. 1200
• Loss % = 25

TO FIND:

• What is the selling price (S.P) ?

SOLUTION:

We have given that, the cost price is rupees 1200 and loss percent is 25

we know that the formula for finding the selling price is:-

$\large\bf{\star \: S.P = \dfrac{100- Loss \%}{100} \times C.P\: \star}$

According to question:-

$\rm{\rightarrow S.P = \dfrac{100- 25}{100} \times 1200}$

$\rm{\rightarrow S.P = \dfrac{75}{100} \times 1200}$

$\rm{\rightarrow S.P = \dfrac{75}{\cancel{100}} \times \cancel{1200}}$

$\rm{\rightarrow S.P = 75 \times 12}$

$\bf{\star \: S.P = Rs. \: 900 \: \star}$

❝ Hence, the selling price is Rs. 900 ❞
